5 Novels Set in Space to Check Out

This is one of my favourite series by one of my favourite authors! This is another series that I find just gets better with each book. I absolutely love these fairy tale retellings and how each book tells the story of a different character but still effortlessly blends the other characters in. It’s such a diverse cast of loveable characters with such amazing dynamics between them.

This book has had very mixed reviews since the movie came out a few years ago. Personally, I adored this entire series. Although it can be cheesy at times, it was extremely entertaining right from the beginning. The books are told in alternating perspectives between a cast of colourful characters from a 5-year-old boy, to various soldiers fighting the alien invasions, to an alien himself!

This is a story of survival after a space ship falls from orbit onto an unknown planet. Two unlikely characters: Lilac, a spoiled daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the universe and Tarver, a respected Major in the military, must work together to make it back to safety. The story is told in dual perspective between these two and its interesting to see the same situations from each character’s point of view. The characters grow and change through out the story in such a great way! I have not read the rest of the Starbound trilogy, but I hope to soon!

I’ve personally only read Illuminae, but I have heard nothing but great things about this series! This is such a unique story told in an amazing way. It’s told through dialogue, computer files and different forms of multimedia which gives it a very unique voice. I loved all the graphics and different styles the story took. Again, the cast of characters are great, and you even get a perspective from Aiden, an artificial computer which is very fun!

Although E.T is not a book, I felt he needed to be included in this list. I loved this movie when I was younger. It follows a young boy named Elliott who finds E.T, a friendly alien. He introduced E.T to his older brother and younger sister and they decide to keep his existence a secret from the rest of the world. E.T becomes sick and the government intervenes, causing Elliot and his siblings to find a way to get E.T back to his home planet as quickly as possible. It’s such a cute, feel good movie I think everyone should watch at some point! A super fun fact as well: E.T was an imaginary friend that Stephen Spielberg made up when his parents were getting a divorce in 1960!
